Excellent beer. Bold hop aroma but well balanced ho p flavor. I do NOT get the ’rubbery’ or long lasting bitter aftertaste that some get. To me, the hop bitterness dissipates quickly and the hop flavor shines through.

From the tap at 1516 Brewing, Vienna, Austria. Pours light amber, fairly transparent with medium grain white foam. Aroma is citrusy and resinous. Body is average with good carbonation. Taste is bitter, but without exceeding, and with good base of malt sweetness underneath. Finish is long and bitter.

12floz bottle, BBD: 08.21.2017, ~$1.75 unit price. Appears amber in color with one-finger of head in my nonic glass. Smells like candy - caramel and some cherry-berry (my terminology). There is not much to critique here, this is just a solid malty IPA - pine and caramel blend together very well over a fullish medium-body.

Hazy dark orange pour with a thick creamy head that leaves a ton of lacing. Aromas of pine and sweet citrus, grapefruit hops and spice. The taste is intense following the nose with a hint of piney, grass bitterness, spice and a sweet malty backbone that still takes a backseat to the hops. Silky smooth and creamy mouth feel. Beer is wonderfully balanced. I love to sip and savor this one. Absolutely a world class IPA in my book.
